FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — The University of Arkansas and a former student reached a settlement agreement in a lawsuit alleging school officials acted with “deliberate indifference” after she reported being sexually assaulted by another student on campus.
The student will receive $100,000 in the settlement, with another $15,000 going to her attorneys to cover legal expenses.
The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports a jury trial had been scheduled for March.
Both sides filed a joint stipulation on Monday in U.S. District Court in Fayetteville that the case be dismissed with prejudice, so it cannot be filed again.
